Traditionally, "castanyes" (roast chestnuts) are eaten along with "moniatos" (roast sweet potatoes) and "panellets" (small almond balls covered in pine nuts).
The festival is usually depicted with the figure of a "castanyera": an old lady, dressed in peasant's clothing and wearing a headscarf, sat behind a table, roasting chestnuts for street sale.
In this festival, the people go to the Cemeterie, to visit to sprinkle the graves with holy water, leave flowers and hold vigils.
